What are you talking about? This is an terrific website and I think we have had some great discussions about new developments and rumored projects. We are kind of burnt out on the old rumors that didn't pan out. (Aurora, Black Manta, etc.). Now we want to find out about confirmed projects that have yet to be publicly unveiled (YF-113G, YF-24, etc.). The fact of the matter is, the Groom Lake facility is an Air Force test site. That's what makes it awesome. What's the problem? An entire Test Wing is based there to conduct developmental flight-testing of advanced aircraft and weapons. What more could you ask? It is too bad that no one has been able to capture a glimpse of anything special but remember, we're not supposed to. The Air Force works hard to keep unauthorized spectators from seeing the good stuff. They are practicing good operations security (OPSEC) and the tourists are not sufficiently motivated to camp out 24/7 to watch the skies. Glenn almost caught something in 1994 (call sign CAMINO 01) but inadvertently let the opportunity slip away. We will probably have to wait for something to get declassified.
